title: Regional cues and visual discrimination in the rabbit.
abstract: Rabbits were trained to discriminate patterns consisting of straight bars and rows of dots of different orientation. It was found that using proximal pattern presentation, at a distance of 5 cm in front of the animal, dot rows of different orientation are not discriminated on the basis of tilt extrapolation, but by the use of regional cues.
